The Khatulistiwa, which honors Indonesia’s best fiction, is the brainchild of Richard Oh, the owner of QB World Books, and is supported by the management of Plaza Senayan, Mont Blanc, Ernst & Young, Honda, Jakarta Hilton International, Secure Parking and nuvoCom.
According to the organizers, the purpose of the award is to raise the image of Indonesian literature and to encourage more Indonesians to read. It is also hoped that the Khatulistiwa award will encourage authors and publishers to continue creating quality works of fiction.1
